Tinafika ku Havana usiku uno, February 8, 2015, kapena 56 chaka cha revolution, 150 ya ife ikudzaza ndege yonse, gulu la anthu a ku United States a mtendere ndi a chilungamo omwe akutsogoleredwa ndi CODEPINK. Malo otentha ndi okongola ngakhale mvula.
Nyumba, magalimoto, misewu zimawoneka ngati nthawi yayima mu 1959. Woyang'anira ulendowu pa basi kuchokera ku eyapoti kupita ku hotelo akudzikuza kuti madera pafupi ndi ndege akukhala ndi chipatala cha matenda a maganizo ndi fakitale ya spaghetti. Mabwalo onse awiriwa ndi otsogolera oyendayenda amaphatikiza Fidel kukhala ambiri pamutu uliwonse.
Kubwerera kwathu en el Norte nthawi zambiri timazindikira kuti samamangira zinthu monga kale. Nyumba yanga idalongosola kusintha kwa Cuba. Kuika zosowa za anthu patsogolo "pakukula" komanso kupatsa chidwi ndichinthu chomwe ndingasankhe mobwerezabwereza ngati ndingathe.
Koma kodi Cuba idasankha kuyimitsa nthawi dala? Kapena kuyimitsa mwanjira zina? Kapena ndi chinthu chomwe munthu sayenera kunena kapena kuganiza? Tidzakumana ndi anthu ambiri aku Cuba sabata ikubwerayi, omwe boma mwina likufuna kuti tikumane nawo ndi omwe mwina sakufuna.
Ndani akuyenera kudzudzulidwa ndi zoyipa ku Cuba? Sindikudziwabe ndipo sindikudziwa momwe ndimasamalirira. Ndi mkangano umodzi zilango zaku US zakhala zowopsa. Ndi wina iwo alibe mphamvu. Palibe mkangano pakuwoneka kuti pali chifukwa chilichonse chowapititsira patsogolo. Kapenanso iwo omwe akuti sanachite zoyipa nthawi zambiri amati Cuba siyenera kulipidwa powakweza. Koma zamkhutu zosagwirizana ndizovuta kuyankha.
United States inagonjetsa nkhondo yambiri ya zigawenga ku Cuba koma imachititsa Cuba kukhala mndandanda wa zigawenga. Izi ziyenera kuthera mosasamala kanthu kuti Cuba yapeza njira yowonjezera tsogolo la demokarasi.
Munthu wina waku America yemwe anali pamalo okwera hotelo anandiuza kuti: “Kodi anthu amene analandidwa katundu wawo sanayenera kubwezanso kwa iwo?” Ndikudziwa kuti ena mwa iwo sakufuna kuti abwezeretsedwe, koma ndinayankha, "Zoyenera kuchita izi, monganso United States ikubwezeretsanso Guantanamo ku Cuba." Popanda kuphonya, Amereka waku America uyu adabweranso kwa ine ndi mzere womwe adagwiritsa ntchito bwino kale: “Ndiye ungandipatse galimoto yako?” Nditazindikira zomwe anali kunena, ndinamuuza kuti sindinabe galimoto yake nditaloza mfuti pamene United States inaba Guantanamo. Anachoka.
Ndikuzindikira kuti mopitirira malire ndiyenera kufunsa United States kuti ibwezere United States yonse, koma sindikuchita izi mopitirira muyeso. Chifukwa chiyani US silingabwezeretse dziko la Cuba ndi Cuba ikukonza machitidwe ake ovuta kwambiri pa ndale? Boma lirilonse padziko lonse lapansi liyenera kusintha, ndikukakamiza kusintha pazinthu zovomerezeka zonse za 199.
Misewu ya Havana ndi mdima usiku, wokwanira kuti awone kapena ayi, koma osadziwika kuti ndi oopsa, osaganizira za mafuko, osayanjana, osakhala ndi anthu omwe alibe pokhala omwe akukumana nawo m'dzikoli. Mabungwe amasewera Guantanamera chifukwa chiyani nthawi ya gazillionti iyenera kukhala yofanana, ndikuyimba ngati ikutanthauza.
Kutengedwa zonse, ndipo mutangofika, si malo oyipa kuti muchotsedwe padziko lapansi. Sindinapezebe SIM khadi kapena foni. Hotelo yanga ilibe intaneti, osachepera mpaka mañana. Hotel Nacional - ya Mulungu kanema - amandiuza kuti ali ndi intaneti masana okha. Koma Havana Libre, yomwe kale inali Havana Hilton, ili ndi nyimbo, malo ogulitsira magetsi okhala ndi mabowo atatu, komanso intaneti yochedwa koma yogwira (yopitilira Amtrak) ya 10 pesos pa ola limodzi, osanenapo za mojitos.
Pano ndi ku Cuba!
